"Hehe, worthy of being my chief of staff, can see through my mind in the end." Lin Haifeng glanced at Huang Zaixing with a smile, "This time, the two armies will go south separately, and after Quan, Zhang, and Xiamen are recovered, there will be no major battles on the land of Fujian." It's not easy for Sushun, I just came to preside over the overall situation in the south, haha, I only have Liangguang and Yungui in my hands. In the past, in Zhejiang, we deliberately slowed down in order to recuperate, but now it is different, every qiē is faster. This is also the reason why I sent the Red Second Army, which had strengthened five independent divisions, to southwestern Fujian. After taking Longyan and other places as much as possible, I plan to send the Red Second Army to Jiangxi and become a sharp knife under the Wing King. With the development of the war situation, the number of the Eastern Expeditionary Army is no longer meaningful, and I am asking the East King for instructions to merge the Red First Army and the Red Third Army into the Red First Army, and the future Liangguang Campaign will be under the unified command of the Yiwang. If possible, I will also go to Guangxi to discuss some issues with Yiwang. ”

"After that......" Lin Fengxiang looked at King An hesitantly.

"Later?" Lin Haifeng smiled, "In the future, you will continue to stir horses and spoons in a pot." ”

Ascending the Zhenhai Tower, Lin Haifeng looked at the Minjiang River estuary in the distance, and then turned around and pointed to the peach forests all over the foothills, "Wait until early spring and February, looking from here, the blooming peach blossoms all over the mountains must be like a brocade and beautiful." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Wanqing, who was nodding and smiling, "Hehe, there was a Lin Fengxiang of our own family before, and now there is a hero of our own family, Lin Wanqing, no one will say that we are doing the Lin family class, right?" ”

"This surname can't be picked by yourself, it's just a coincidence." Lin Fengxiang smiled hesitantly, and then pointed at Zeng Jinfa, "To talk about it, their Zeng family is also weak, there are Zeng Tianyang and Zeng Tianhe brothers in the army of the Western Expedition, Yangzhou and Zeng Lichang, Jiangsu is Zeng Jinqian, and we still have Zeng Shuiyuan, the military leader, hey, it's not that I don't know, it's shocking, it's simply the world of the Zeng family." ”

"Giggles, it's a coincidence, there is a Zeng Guofan in Shanghai, and it is also their old Zeng family." Liu Xianghe glanced at Zeng Jinfa, who was angry, and secretly looked at Zuo Zongtang, who had been silently following behind everyone, and covered his mouth and laughed.

"You girl, what's wrong with Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan may become a hero of the Celestial Empire in the future." Lin Haifeng nodded at Liu Xianghe, and then said to Lin Wanqing, "Your task is very arduous, not only to appease the place and ensure the safety of the party, but also to step up the collection and manufacture of ships, so as to prepare for the large-scale sea-crossing operations of the Heavenly Army in the future." In addition, this is your hometown, and it is naturally important to destroy the Qing demon, but it is even more important to develop your hometown and benefit Sangzi, but you don't dare to embarrass our old Lin family. ”

Lin Wanqing smiled embarrassedly, he was still in King Mushroom last night, and he wanted to lead the troops to the front line. "Your Highness, I will."

"In a few days, the work groups from Shanghai and other places will arrive in Fuzhou, and you will cooperate well and do a good job in Fujian. I want to have a chance to fight after the war, but without a solid rear base, the war cannot be fought. Fujian is a good place, and we should make greater contributions to the Celestial Empire. After speaking, Lin Haifeng smiled, "Look at it, soon, I will also return to Shanghai to focus on economic work." We must defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, recover the territory of the Han Dynasty, and enable the people of the Celestial Empire to live and work in peace and contentment, all of which are inseparable from economic development. ”

"Yes, I have been circling in the mountainous areas of western Fujian for nearly a year, and I have witnessed the poverty and abnormality of the people there, even so, they still support and raise us by cutting back on food and clothing, and now we have the opportunity, how can we do it if we don't repay it." Lin Wanqing said with emotion.

"Well, it's good to have that thought." Lin Haifeng looked westward, "It is the people who have raised us, and we must repay them well." Divide the fields and forests, give priority to the exemption of fields, the development of schools, and the allocation of funds, and send special personnel to lead them to get rich, and don't forget them as soon as they have the Dazhou City of the Flower World. Otherwise, once you want to go back to fighting guerrillas, people will no longer support you. ”

"Mr. Zuo, don't just keep your head shut and don't speak, but also express your high opinions." Lin Haifeng smiled and looked at Zuo Zongtang, who was originally free, but he regarded himself as a prisoner.

"Ah...... Ah......h As soon as he came out of Shanghai, he was indeed free, and no one around him was watching his movements, except for a guard who took care of him. And this King An always took him with him, intentionally or unintentionally, and even participated in military meetings. However, apart from some polite greetings from time to time, there was no long talk for a while. As a third party, stay out of the matter and look at the longest knowledge and insight.

"The mountains are good, the water is good, the scenery is pleasant, and I always say something." Lin Haifeng looked at Zuo Zongtang and urged.

"This ......," Zuo Zongtang thought for a while, "What you said just now is right, now that the people everywhere are living in fire and water, there is a situation where the heavenly army ascends to the heights and calls out, and all the people respond." As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world, and if you don't really care about the suffering of the people of Li and let them get rid of poverty completely, you can only gain momentum for a while, not for a lifetime. ”

Lin Haifeng looked around at the officials around him, "Look, what Mr. Zuo said is incisive, right?" Qin Shi Huang was the forerunner and unified the world, but he couldn't sit on the throne and was destroyed early in the hands of his son. We are not fighting the world for our own life, but for the benefit of future generations, and we must not forget the people at any time, or we will be defeated by the people sooner or later. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his watch and pointed at Lin Wanqing, "Hehe, it's not early, our Governor's Excellency has prepared a banquet to see us off at noon, hurry up and eat." ”

Lin Fengxiang also smiled and looked at Lin Wanqing, "I said the governor, we are going to break up again, and we are our own family, what good things have been prepared for us?" ”

"Fish, enough fish." Lin Wanqing smiled, "I sent the guards out early in the morning to go to the sea to fish and eat whatever I caught." ”

"Ouch, it's sad that there are so many fish here that people eat fish?" Liu Xianghe screamed.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry for you, there are only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury of the Governor's Mansion, alas, I don't know how difficult it is to be in charge, there are too many places to use money." Lin Wanqing pouted, complaining bitterly.

"Look, when it comes to frugality, our Governor's Excellency is immediate, not bad, not bad." Lin Haifeng said as he walked, "That's how it should be, the money should be used in the most important places, and you can't just fool your mouth." Be careful, good things are comfortable to eat, eat too much, and if you are addicted to eating, you will move your head. At that time, it won't taste good at anything. ”

Zeng Jinfa smiled, "Since the recovery of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the eating and drinking style in the army has risen a little, and some officers are not willing to eat with the soldiers, open small stoves, and compare with each other. ”

"This trend must be resolutely stopped." Lin Haifeng waved his hand, "You have to emphasize military discipline again and again, and you have to strictly investigate." Whoever wants to open a small stove can, buy it with their own money, do it themselves, but one, can't eat the soldiers' things. Tell everyone that you can go home if you want to be comfortable. In addition, it is necessary to strictly grasp the occurrence of misuse of money, and we will never tolerate those who embezzle money, no matter how many they are, whether they are caught or cut down by another, no matter how big their official positions are, and how high their merits are. ”

"We're working on that." Huang Zaixing nodded, "Since there was no military pay in the past, many officers and soldiers borrowed money from the government, and now they have started a system of distributing pocket money, and they are beginning to recover the money owed by individuals." ”

"That's good, even though there is no military pay system, it's still advisable to give out some pocket money." Lin Haifeng smiled, "In Shanghai, I want to invite Sanniang and Xianghe to dinner, but I don't have any money in my hand, alas, I want Xianghe to pawn the bracelet." ”

"We must uphold the iron system of equality between officers and soldiers, otherwise, the army will have no combat effectiveness." Lin Fengxiang said.

"Mr. Zuo, are you interested in joining our camp?" Lin Haifeng stopped, looked at Zuo Zongtang, who was following behind, and suddenly asked.

Zuo Zongtang didn't expect the other party to ask such a thing, although he had begun to submit to this nascent regime, but according to common sense, at least the other party would have a long talk with him.

Looking at the stunned Zuo Zongtang, Lin Haifeng smiled, "It's too sudden, isn't it?" However, I don't think Mr. Zuo will reject my idea. Let's join hands for the honor of the Han family and work together to create a better tomorrow. ”

"But I ......" Zuo Zongtang nodded and shook his head again, not knowing what to say for a while.

"To recognize your past mistakes and crimes, you don't necessarily have to show them on paper, the key is still in your heart." Lin Haifeng took Zuo Zongtang's arm and walked along the narrow mountain road together, "If you want, I want to escort you to Shunchang, where we will establish a special office in western Fujian and develop there." How about you being the temporary commissioner of this special office? ”

"Your Highness, I'm ......" Zuo Zongtang closed his eyes slightly, then stopped, turned his head to look at Han Muyue behind him, and pointed to the saber under his side, "General Han, please cut this braid on my head!" ”

Han Muyue looked at Zuo Zongtang and then at King An, and hesitantly pulled out his saber.

Lin Haifeng took the knife in Han Muyue's hand and looked at it, his fingers touched the sharp blade, "Mr. Zuo, have you thought about it?" If you don't want to cut it off, there's nothing left to keep it. ”

Zuo Zongtang didn't hesitate at all this time, and pulled up the shiny braid on the back of his head.

With the flash of the knife in Lin Haifeng's hand, the braid came down. Zuo Zongtang didn't look at it again, he shook it vigorously, and his braids swayed and fell into the valley.

Without the burden of braids, Zuo Zongtang felt much cooler and lighter. "Liu Shangshu, sing the military song you often sing, I like that."

"Haha, we're going to sing it a lot in the future." Lin Haifeng smiled.

"Forward, forward, forward, our team to the sun, feet on the land of the motherland, carrying the hope of the people, we are an invincible force......"

Under the bright midday sun, this small group of men and horses, accompanied by songs, marched briskly.
